After having Lobdell repeatedly try to shove that non-existent 'ship down my throat through the 1990's, I just have a bad knee jerk reaction to it.
I can't see the two of them as a couple. Yes, they could have sex like bunnies, but actually hanging out together, enjoying one another company? What would they talk about other than being mutants?
Plus Magneto is not exactly Mr. Emotionally Functional. When we last checked in, he was still hung up on his wife (a friend of mine has a very interesting theory as to *why* he is so hung up on Magda after all this time), and has not really dealt with her abandonment and let her go emotionally.
But I do trust Mike Carey, so *if* someone is going to go there, maybe he can make it work.
I just wish they would cut both characters loose form it and move on...
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
